Johnson Controls TE-636S-1 Temperature Sensor

The Johnson Controls TE-636S-1 is a professional-grade strap-mount temperature sensor designed for precision monitoring in building automation systems. This model features a high-accuracy 10k ohm Type II thermistor and a 3-inch stainless steel probe, ensuring rapid thermal response and resistance to corrosion in demanding mechanical environments. Built for versatile pipe-mount applications, it provides reliable NTC thermistor data for HVAC heating and cooling loops, allowing for seamless integration with any BAS/DDC system that supports standard Type II curves.

Engineered to withstand temperatures from -50 to 220?F, the TE-636S-1 is ideal for surface temperature sensing on pipes up to 2-5/8 inches in diameter. The unit includes a 10-foot plenum-rated cable, meeting UL 1995 requirements for installation in air-handling spaces without additional conduit in most jurisdictions. For optimal performance, contractors should apply thermal conductive compound between the probe and the pipe surface before securing with the included cable ties or adjustable clamps to minimize temperature error and maximize accuracy.

Key Benefits

• Broad Compatibility: The 10k ohm Type II thermistor sensor is compatible with a wide range of industry-standard HVAC controllers and building automation systems.
• Durable Construction: Features a rugged stainless steel probe that prevents corrosion and ensures long-term reliability in utility and mechanical rooms.
• Simplified Installation: The strap-mount temperature sensor design allows for quick field mounting on existing piping without the need for thermal wells or system drainage.
• Plenum Rated: Includes a 10-foot lead wire rated for plenum use, reducing installation time and material costs in commercial applications.

Common Questions

What is the resistance of the TE-636S-1 at standard temperature?
As a standard 10k ohm Type II thermistor, this sensor provides 10,000 ohms of resistance at 77?F (25?C), following the standard NTC resistance-temperature curve.

Can this sensor be used for chilled water and hot water applications?
Yes, the operating range of -50 to 220?F makes it suitable for most surface temperature sensing requirements in hydronic heating and cooling systems.

Are mounting accessories included with the sensor?
The TE-636S-1 typically includes cable ties for pipe mounting. For the highest accuracy, we recommend using thermal paste during the installation process.
